Kinda, there are places that make food I have no chance of replicating.

>>13923034
Sorry you were too poor to eat out when you still could.

>>13923034
Walking in the market and having folks keep their distance and all wearing masks is like heaven. Its indescribably good and I hope it stays like this.

Ive been team take-out for a while, cant stand dining in.

Their secret is MSG

>>13923052
I don't understand the desire, either.

>>13923034
I would go out with friends once in awhile to get food and drinks maybe watch a ufc event but I don't really miss it.

>>13923034
I miss it, absolutely.

Not everybody here is a shut-in

I miss bars but not restaurants. I pretty much only go to a restaurant if its practically empty. My girlfriend hates it but I pay the bills so oh well. Bars though... I miss going and having some drinks with my bros and watching whatever sportsball is on the TV

>>13923407
Yep, I mainly miss bars. You'll almost never find me in a non-alcohol establishment sitting down for food. Adult friends don't do much else than meet up at the bar for some drinks and the game.

white food places use MSG so much it's disgusting. Particularly italian places.

If you ever order a plain mild dish with a "white wine sauce" there's an 80% chance it's got msg in it

>>13923052
this. i also like that nobody can look at my face anymore.

Immensely

>>13923399
I'm a shut in and I miss it too.

>>13923506
then you're not a shut in desu

>>13923034
what the HECK do I do if I meet a girl? Offer to buy her fast food and we eat it in my car? Fuck!

>>13923447
i thought only Chinese joints used it

>>13923521
Take her back to your house, eat, then go into your hottub for some fun

>>13923034
Holy shit that waitress is going fast!

these are very trying times after all

what's trying exactly? I don't know but all the media and faceless multinational corporations on tv are releasing commercials saying these are very trying times. The good news is at least they are saying they are here for me

i haven't spoken to anyone but my mom and my therapist for the last 7 years, i really don't give a damn

>>13923515

>>13923521
Cook her something, girls love that

>>13923447
little secret. its in fucking everything. there is no escaping it.

>>13923521
Why would you meet a girl? You are sheltering-in-place, right?

>>13923034
>Do people actually miss this?
Yes.
The entirety of my social life consists of going to a certain Irish pub on Sunday evenings to listen to a bunch of old people play Irish session music.
It's the only thing I miss about everything being closed down.
Except since they're all old people, half of them are probably already dead from the Communist bioweapon.

absolutely not. I can't wait for every lame ass restaurant in my town to close down.

>>13925124
i so badly want to do this now... when the chinese flu is over im going to find my nearest one
for the AI i will feed my life story.
when I was a wee lad (i born and raised in san diego) my grandma would take me to balboa to see the traditional irish musicians. one even taught me to play the penny whistle.

There's this app (that's a computer program you can use on your smartphone) called Tinder which allows you to find matches and set up dates with them without even coming into contact. You should check it out. Maybe you'll even lose your virginity one day.

>>13925554
What?

>>13923534
MSG is used almost as often as salt.

And it's not necessarily always called MSG either. That or other stuff just happens to contain a lot of MSG, like how fruit juices just naturally come with a ton of sugar. A person could pour in a few cups of powdered chicken bouillon for example and smugly say they didn't "add MSG" because it's not the pure stuff.

>>13925559
Going out on a date is the opposite of sheltering in-place.

You slobbering over each other and exchanging body fluids is exactly the opposite of what you should be doing in a pandemic.
